Gravimetry is an important information in the management of solid waste, as it assists in environmental monitoring, in understanding the process of decomposition of waste and in estimating the useful life of materials for recycling, data that are also crucial for the preparation of municipal solid waste plans. Thus, this article aimed to characterize the solid waste produced in the city of Soure, in Pará, to contribute to its solid waste management. The gravimetric characterization defined in NBR 10,004 of 2004 was used. It is noted, after gravimetry, that the largest generation of residues is concentrated in the tailings and organic matter materials, which represent 86.6% of a sample of 91.5 kg. The largest amount of recyclable material collected was 4.16 kg of colored PP film and the smallest of Tetra Pack material, with 0.21 kg. The monthly gain from recycling for each collector would be an average of R50.00and,therefore,itisessentialthatthegovernmentintervenesthroughthecooperative,supportingservicesandreducingcosts.Eventhoughthemunicipalityhaspotentialforrecycling,thereisstillweaknessinpublicpoliciesforwastemanagement,mainlyintheadoptionofmunicipalguidelinesthatencourageitasanalternativefortheeconomyandtheenvironment.Keywords:SolidWaste,Recycling,Management.Agravimetriaconstituiumainformac\ca~oimportantenagesta~odosresıˊduossoˊlidos,poisauxilianomonitoramentoambiental,nacompreensa~odoprocessodedecomposic\ca~odosresıˊduosenaestimativadavidauˊtildemateriaisparareciclagem,dadosessestambeˊmcruciaisparaelaborac\ca~odosplanosderesıˊduossoˊlidosmunicipais.Assim,esteartigoobjetivoucaracterizarosresıˊduossoˊlidosproduzidosnacidadedeSoure,noParaˊ,paracontribuirnasuagesta~oderesıˊduossoˊlidos.Utilizou−seacaracterizac\ca~ogravimeˊtricadefinidanaNBR10.004de2004.Nota−se,apoˊsagravimetria,queamaiorgerac\ca~oderesıˊduosseconcentranosmateriaisRejeitoseMateˊriaOrga^nica,querepresentam86,650,00 e, portanto, sendo essencial que o poder público intervisse pela cooperativa, apoiando os serviços e reduzindo os custos. Mesmo o município apresentando potencial para a reciclagem, existe ainda fragilidade nas políticas públicas para o gerenciamento dos resíduos, principalmente na adoção de diretrizes municipais que a incentivem como uma alternativa para a economia e o meio ambiente.Palavras-chave: Resíduos Sólidos, Reciclagem, Gerenciamento
